"Toulon's fortress remains unbreached this season, but only just, as Munster's gutsy late comeback fell agonisingly short."
"At the end of another Champions Cup epic at a heaving Stade Felix Mayol, Munster had to settle for a losing bonus point, but they will rue the fact that they weren't able to hold onto a one-point lead after scoring two late tries."
Toulon defeated Munster 27-25 at Stade Felix Mayol, maintaining an unbeaten home record this season. Munster mounted a determined late comeback and scored two late tries to take a one-point lead, but failed to hold it. Munster secured a losing bonus point from the narrow defeat. The match was a Champions Cup epic played before a large, vocal crowd. Toulon's defence and resilience in the closing stages secured the victory despite sustained pressure. Munster will rue allowing the lead to slip after their late scoring surge.
